Thanks, I had forgotten about Dolly but I usually consider players that sit out of a challenge losers along with their teams.

On that note, Russell S certainly participated in the first challenge because he picked all the players. Marisa even said that they won because of Mick's choices so I can't see why the loss can't be placed partly on Russell's shoulders. And Drake's episode 4IC loss was totally due to Burton's "brilliant" idea to throw the challenge so he has to be blamed for that loss.

Palau's race to shore was a challenge and if Jonathan or Wanda had won they wouldn't have been eliminated. It's hard to say they were eliminated without losing a challenge. And did Willard sit out the ICs that Koror lost? Even if he did he was still in that first challenge. Had he won it, no one would have said he was weak.

BTW, interesting trivia about Willard that wasn't shown on TV so I'll make it a question: What "Brilliant" idea did Willard have on day 1 that went a long way to get him voted out?

And speaking of Willard: How many castaways lied about their occupations to avoid being voted out? I ask this but I don't have the answer! I'll be looking for answers on the internet as Iltarion suggested but maybe we could work it out if we have enough contributors.
